An 802.1X client must authenticate before being allowed to pass data traffic onto the network. During the authentication process, between which two devices is the EAP data encapsulated into EAPOL frames? (Choose two.)
- data nonrepudiation server
- authentication server (TACACS)
- supplicant (client)
- authenticator (switch)
- ASA Firewall
Explanation: When a client supplicant is starting the 802.1X message exchange, an EAPOL-Start message is sent between the supplicant and the authenticator, which is the switch. EAP data between the supplicant and the authenticator is encapsulated in EAPOL frames.
